District 7

District 7
Short Info

“Call it punk, call it garage, call it Alternative, call it what the hell you want but make sure to check this band out as they produce one of the most efficient blends of contemporary rock recently produced in Luxembourg. (…) A real epiphany for every 90s post grunge flavoured punk fan.”

(Diego Velazquez – Food For Your Senses Festival)

District 7 was formed in 2011 as a pop-punk band, steadily growing into one oft the most upcoming young bands in Luxembourg. The group played over 50 shows in Luxembourg, among which the Food For Your Senses Festival (LU) in 2014, Zikametz Festival (Fr) in 2015 and the sold-out support slot for Simple Plan at Den Atelier in 2015 were important turning points of the band’s career. After the release of their first EP “Brave New World”, District 7 won major prices at Rockhal’s Screaming Fields competition (Best Live Performance – 2013, Best Composition – 2014, Best Song – 2016, Rocklab Coup de Coeur – 2016). In 2017, the band is Luxembourg’s representative in the Greater Region’s “Multipistes” program.
While the band was mainly focussed on playing pop-punk for the first four years, 2016 marked an important step in the musical evolution of the group. In February 2016, the band went to London to record 2 singles with producer Brett Shaw (Florence and the Machine, Clean Bandit, Daughter) and Latin Grammy winning engineer Sancho Gomez. In July 2016, the band travelled to Lisbon to produce their second CD “The Place We Used To Call Home” with producer Vasco Ramos and Tiago Canadas, set to be released on 10.02.2017. The work with internationally acclaimed professionals changed the mood and style of District 7, drifting away from the punk genre and embracing a more pop-oriented alternative sound with punk roots. The general mood of the songs became more mature and detached from hindering elements. What stays are driving guitars, exploding drums and an electrifying, fast-paced live-performance.
